Constructed from local desert rocks, the exterior walls relate to the natural setting in which they sit.

Rich red hues and earthy sandy tones create a close relationship between the buildings and the landscape.

The series of spaces are connected through terraces, gardens, and pools. Heavy stone walls balance with the redwood form work and delicate canvas roof.

Taliesin West is a Frank Lloyd Wright Masterpiece, composed of locally sourced materials, rich red hues, and thoughtful indoor to outdoor connections.

He Even Designed Modern Gas Stations This small town service station outside of Duluth may stand as an outlier among Wright’s many commissions, but its unmistakably his, from the copper cantilevered canopy to the glassed-in observation deck. Created with prefab construction and expansion in mind, the station supposedly drew from earlier sketches and ideas Wright had for gas pumps at his proposed Broadacre development. The initial plans even propose hoisting the gas pumps overhead to create a service area free from impediments, a creative but unworkable solution due to building codes. Photo by Eugene D. Becker
